Default level
2: System level
Parameters
ip-address: Specifies the listening IP address of the local portal server. This IP address is that of a Layer 3
interface on the access device and can reach the portal client.
Description
Use the portal local-server ip command to specify the listening IP address of the local portal server for
Layer 2 portal authentication. With a listening IP address specified, the device will redirect Web requests
from portal clients to the authentication page at the listening IP address.
Use the undo portal local-server ip command to restore the default.
By default, no listening IP address is specified for the local portal server.
HP recommends that you configure a loopback interface’s address as the listening IP address because:
 The status of a loopback interface is stable. This can avoid authentication page access failures
caused by interface failures.
 A loopback interface does not forward received packets. This can avoid impacting system
performance when there are many network access requests.
Examples
# Specify 1.1.1.1 as the listening IP address of the local portal server for Layer 2 portal authentication.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface loopback 1
[Sysname-LoopBack1] ip address 1.1.1.1 32
[Sysname-LoopBack1] quit
[Sysname] portal local-server ip 1.1.1.1
